CHEESE IS READY FOR SALE!!!!! I’ll be getting the ball rolling to distribute through @provisionsintl once again for all my local-ish (New England and a bit beyond) cheesemongers but we also want to SHIP CHEESE TO YOUR CHEESE SHOP!!! Send me an email if you’d like to order samples or whole wheels! (Disclaimer: a much needed family vacation is happening in the next week but I will be responding to messages and after mid-July I will be ready to fulfill your orders!). Cheesemongers, I can’t wait to work with you! I’ve met so many of you in the past year or two but due to insane events in my life I wasn’t able to sell to you. But now I am and I just want to thank all of you for taking the time to hear my story and for your interest in my artisan cheese. @thecurdnerd_syr @newleafcmarket @concordcheese @dolcettofarmington @bensraclette @baccoswineandcheese @bensraclette @milkfarmla

Happy Cheesemakers Day! It’s a great day to reflect on what goes into truly great cheese: land stewardship, humane treatment of animals, responsible milk handling, scientific knowedge, careful attention to craft, consistency, and food safety, lots of 💪, and sometimes even 😭💔. Show your love of the product and the craft by choosing cheese from small artisanal and farmstead cheesemakers. And ask for our cheese in your favorite store or from your favorite #cheesemonger! #artisancheese #rawmilkcheese #vtcheese #vermont

Michael Pollen first radicalized me about our food system when I read Omnivore’s Dilemma waaaaay back when. He taught me that there’s NO SUCH THING AS CHEAP FOOD. If food is cheap, it’s because you are paying for it in the downstream effects on: ✅ human health - loss of the body’s microbiological diversity, increase in inflammation, development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, asthma, obesity, etc. ✅ environmental health - vast monocultures lead to loss of biodiversity, loss of water quality, loss of soil quantity and soil health, climate change, and economic hardship for farmers who have bought into the “go big or go home” mantra of farming ✅ cultural health - when people are offered cheap food, they lose cultural knowledge that has been passed down for centuries of how to grow food and cook from scratch. People become more reliant on the industrial ag system and find it harder and harder to disentangle themselves and recover this knowledge PREACH BROTHER!!! @michael.pollan #regenerativefarming #realfood #knowyourfarmer #eatyourveggies
